Pose able toy and method for interconnection

Abstract

This method of interconnection utilizes aesthetic features of the toy itself to alloy interconnection in a safe and secure way, without the use of snaps and pins that can cause a safety hazard to young children. The proposed method also allows for interconnection of multiple toys to create a toy chain as well as an adapter that allows for toys that embody this feature to be connected to clothing, back packs, shoes as an accessory. By extension of this basic interconnection method, any two or more objects can be connected this same way.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys comprising:
 providing a first of said plurality of toys comprises a first closable body, a pocket on said closable body and a plurality of protrusions extending from said first closable body; 
 providing a second of said plurality of toys comprises a second body and an extension member having a first portion and a second portion wherein said second portion is larger than said first portion, wherein said first closable body is movable between an open position and a closed position and wherein said pocket is on an exterior surface of said first closable body when said first closable body is in said open position and said pocket is in an interior of said first closable body when said first closable body is in said closed position; 
 placing said second portion of said extension member of said second toy into said pocket of said first toy while said first closable body is in said open position with said pocket on an exterior surface of said first closable body; and 
 closing said first closable body over a portion of said extension member of said second toy and over said pocket by moving said first closable body from said open position to said closed position to place said pocket in said interior of said first closable body. 
 
     
     
       2. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 folding said plurality of protrusions extending from said first body into said pocket around said second portion of said extension member of said second toy prior to closing said first body. 
 
     
     
       3. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys according to  claim 1 , wherein said extension member of said second toy comprises a detachable tail. 
     
     
       4. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys comprising:
 providing a plurality of toys comprises a body having an open position and a closed position, a pocket, a protrusion extending from said body and an extension member having a first portion and a second portion wherein said second portion is larger than said first portion; 
 placing a second portion of an extension member of a second toy into a pocket of said first toy with a body of said first toy in an open position; and 
 closing said first body of said first toy over said second portion of said extension member of said second toy and said pocket to fold said extension member of said second toy over on itself place said second toy on belay with said first toy. 
 
     
     
       5. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 after placing said second portion of said extension member of said second toy into said pocket of said first toy and before closing said body of said first toy, folding a protrusion extending from said body of said first toy into said pocket of said body of said first toy over said second portion of said extension member of said second toy. 
 
     
     
       6. A method of interconnection of a plurality of toys according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 placing a third portion of an extension member of a third toy into a pocket of said second toy; 
 folding a first protrusion of said first toy extending from said first body into said first pocket over said second portion of said extension member of said second toy; 
 closing said first body of said first toy over said second portion of said extension member of said second toy to place said second toy on belay with said first toy.
